       "Use Lookup to invoke defineClass on Java 9+ (#4976)" instead using

      in Gradle 4. The patch should be obsolete once this version is uploaded.

  * `gradle-doc` only provides Javadoc now because building the other
    documentations needs AsciidoctorJ
  * Use HTTPS on `Homepage` `debian/watch`
  * Switch to Salsa
  * The manpage is now a pointer to the official website. The "command line"
    of the User Guide is not really a manpage style, so I don't want to
    maintain my own version.
  * Use `debian/clean` to simplify `debian/rules`
  * Use `substituteDependencies.gradle` to override dependencies instead of a
    patch. On the next upload, I could even override all of them.
